**arriplify** · 11-02-2011, 08:32 AM

Is the volume working fine for you all on this trailer? OMG.. my friggin computer is messing up.

**Cajlwdvx** · 11-03-2011, 12:10 AM

I'm kinda loving that they're going for the early era and visually it looks wonderful in that promo!

**artenotreah** · 11-03-2011, 04:52 AM

Yeah, I'm bummed about Wolverine, but damn Michael Fassbender as Magneto is HOT.

Also, in the first cast image Emma Frost looks like a 60s pin up.

**Cajlwdvx** · 11-03-2011, 04:59 AM

Wolverine was never my favourite X-Men character, so I don't mind at all. Besides, he was introduced later, wasn't he? If I remember right he came around in the 70's whereas the X-Men started off in the 60's.

**artenotreah** · 11-03-2011, 05:07 AM

Wolverine has always been my favourite...

...anyhoo, fotgot to post the rest of the images:

**Cajlwdvx** · 11-03-2011, 05:32 AM

Love the style in those shots!

I know Wolverine is a hugely popular character, but I was always more of a Storm & Gambit fan

Though, I grew to love and hate Jean Grey/Phoenix, and even named my current computer after her.

p.s.

Back, far-right - who is that? Hot. I mean, we already have James McAvoy and Nicholas Hoult but the pretty went up another notch again.

**artenotreah** · 11-03-2011, 05:41 AM

Oh, Gambit! I like him too. He should have been in the films, and not just a cameo in that shitfest that was Origins:Wolverine.

**Cajlwdvx** · 11-03-2011, 05:49 AM

Truth.

edit: never mind. I don't know.

**JessePex** · 11-03-2011, 05:57 AM

Oh dear, is the guy in red supposed to be Azazel? That would be awful.

I'm loving the old-school outfits.

**Timoxari** · 12-02-2011, 04:51 PM

It looks better than I expected, but that ensemble picture is fucking horrific.

**lYVgWWcP** · 12-02-2011, 05:46 PM

rumor has it that was an "unauthorized release", aka "gotta get some buzz".....whatever the case, its bloody awful. i still cant get over the emma frost/basic instinct thing. anyway, i look forwardish to more trailers/scenes as i have been fooled before by quality xmen trailers and shit shit shit xmen movies. you know who you are origins.

**JessePex** · 12-02-2011, 11:17 PM

I'm just mostly worried because it seems like the stories they're largely drawing on are X-Men: Genesis, The Draco and Grant Morrison's run - all storylines/runs I found completely terrible.

It has Banshee, though. That makes me very happy indeed.

**choollaBard** · 12-03-2011, 12:00 AM

Wolverine was never my favourite X-Men character, so I don't mind at all. Besides, he was introduced later, wasn't he? If I remember right he came around in the 70's whereas the X-Men started off in the 60's.

Even though that's true, the 60s X-men never sold really all that well, and even had a time of only reprints, and I can see why, reading them every once in a while. Some of the stories are just outright bad and inconsistent. Especially Cyclops and Xavier seemed like flat characters. The whole Cyclops - Marvel Girl - Beast - Iceman - Angel team is a heavy theme in later stories, which makes it all the more romantic. I remember being disappointed reading the Mimic story arc for example, since he was factually the sixth X-man (for like one minute).

I think X-men really rose to fame with the overhaul of the team after the reruns and ditching many of the old X-men (that is Havok, Polaris, Angel, Iceman and Marvel Girl [partially], since Cyke did continue and Beast was busy elsewhere) and plunging into the Phoenix Saga with the new team.

Edit: And coming to my point, sadly Wolverine was part of that fame as well, the only -barely- existing character of the new X-men along with Banshee, but why the overusage??? He was always part of nearly every team, not to mention his own series, he is always everywhere at once. I really have grown to dislike him.

**artenotreah** · 02-03-2011, 08:20 PM

new still:

**lYVgWWcP** · 07-04-2011, 05:02 AM

oh. most obvious taglines ever. also shitty photoshop on fassbenders shot? this promo material screams rushed-out summer shit.

**I9dydJrX** · 08-04-2011, 03:48 AM

meh, the posters aren't outstanding, but they're not shyte either. two factors alone will have me there opening night: january jones as emma frost & matthew "kick-ass" vaughn directing. 'nuff said.

**AlissBart** · 08-04-2011, 04:09 AM

I don't like prequels, never liked them. I'm disappointed that the X-men series went in this direction

**NanoKakadze** · 09-03-2011, 08:04 AM
